If I were you, I would immmediately get new lights!!!
How long could you have possibly had your condy?
15 watt t8 fluorescent?
You should wait to buy coral till you get new lights, and if you cant get rid of the condy, feed it.

what kind of filtration do you have? also you will probably need atleast one small power head for circulation.
this site has a general description of how your water prameters should be:

if your paremeters fall into the range specified than yes, if not then no also make sure your lighting is good enough for the coral before you buy.

I hope your damnsel and clown continue to get along with each other. Closely related species often have issues when they are in such close quarters. Also your condi will get to be about the size of a basket ball so... It will also sting pretty much anything else you put in there with it. I say pretty much because there is a chance that it might host the clown. That lighting probably isn't even enough to keep your conid happy by the way the only thing I know of that would maybe be ok would be shrooms and that would assume you upgrade the bulbs to a grow light or other full spectrum lighting.

how much more light (and what kind) is recommended? I dont know much about them but it seems the anemone is doing pretty good... He did get sucked into my power head yesterday morning and lost a few tentacles but other than that he seems to be happy he is staying open and floating and hopping around he finally found a place on my live rock and has attached he has been there for a few hours now.... I will take any suggestions given!!! 
you could get a 96 watt quad fluorescent or a 70 watt halide.
You could also retrofit a couple of 13 watt power compacts into a custom hood
